Ugh, good catch!

I don't like this mix of v2 and v3 layout.

Could you try to create an alternate patch that changes
NFQUEUE_parse_v3 to call NFQUEUE_parse_v1 and then add
	case O_QUEUE_BYPASS:
		info->bypass |= NFQ_FLAG_BYPASS;

to NFQUEUE_parse_v3?

I think that this would make it a bit clearer and
it also avoids the v3/v2/v1 stacking.

Thanks!
